  • Its 12 mg of meso-zeaxanthin (filed by NIH under zeaxanthin) (2 rows of the label added together) is higher than 98% of the 1,215 zeaxanthin products that print an amount; 22 list more.

The NIH database records one serving a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
